Two‑volume set of The Imperial Dictionary (Vol. I & II), bound in contemporary full leather with marbled edges and marbled endpapers. Bindings show expected age‑related wear: rubbing to boards and corners, cracking to spines, and some chipping to leather. Hinges remain intact and functional. Page edges retain vibrant marbling. Endpapers show foxing, with some early notations on the preliminary blank of one volume. Text blocks are generally clean for age, with scattered foxing typical of 19th‑century paper. Illustrated throughout with numerous wood engravings. A handsome and complete set with strong shelf presence. Please note: this is a heavy two‑volume set, and shipping costs may vary depending on destination. Additional postage may be required for international orders. All proceeds from this sale will go to Amnesty International UK.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
